Apologies taken.
Since OpenEuphoria was a reaction against a perceived stiffness from RDS and
inability for users to get needed additions/changes into the language, it is not
inappropriate (for me) for you to recycle the name, since the openness is here
now, and since there has been hardly any activity indeed on that project for a
long while.

As the person who wrote the specs for OpenEuphoria (they are available at
http://oedoc.free.fr), I obviously hope that a sizable portion of these suggested
additions and changes will make their way into the language, and to contribute to
this end. Of course, changes which were accepted and wished by a minority of
dissenters won't all be allowed in by a larger user base. Detailed prior layout
of changes and careful listening to reactions/opinions/suggestions must be a
strict rule for open Euphoria, in my opinion.
